July 24- 25-26 Mahone Bay ……… part one


our trip from Sandy Cove to the town of Mahone, about one hour away, the fog started drifting in and chased us all the way to the entrance to the bay


one of our first stops was Jo-Anne's Deli …  they make the best sweet bread in the area, Joe's treat ... to our surprise Jo-anne has sold her business and is spending her time on her boat in Bahamas



the weights to the swinging doors are carrot bags, one was 2 lbs and the other a 5 lbs bag


we were aware of a storm coming, and later the day it rained and washed all the salt off our decks


Mahone Bay is famous for its 3 Churches … a local winery made some red wine and bottled it and our friend Mary Doig hooked a picture of the churches and it is on the label


our next stop was to see our friend at a great hooking shop, Encompassing Design


Christine Little the owner, designed the rug that I hooked last year, called Tri Relaxing … 


this old dinghy is a herb garden


we met with Tutti and Pat (niece of Bill and Anne Taylor, GYC), they spend their winters in the Bahamas, and we got lots of good info from them


we have been having a lot of trouble with our outboard, the local Yanmar dealer, could not help us for 3 weeks … so off we go by boat to Bridgewater, for Monday


a cat boat, built by Peter Reddon, we are on his mooring ball


its time to get the solar shower bag out again


so now we are rowing to shore, so we take the shortest route and walk to town


this old Chevy reminds me of my 46 3/4 Ton Chevy

…… part two coming when ever we get wifi again
